Verdict

ISLAND LEGEND might be able to take this step up in class in his stride following a comfortable success. Milton Bradley's four-year-old is relatively lightly-raced and ran his rivals into the ground last time with a sustained speed they simply couldn't cope with. A similar performance will see him go close up 4lbs, although in Night Affair he faces a bang in-form rival who has won on a similar surface at Wolverhampton. David Arbuthnot's filly is 2lbs higher than when winning at Bath but she's tactically versatile and has a good draw, while her proven ability to stay further could come in handy off the likely gallop. Little Edward is a likeable old chap who should again run his race and that may be enough for a place, Ask Jenny relishes coming late of a strong pace and has the perfect partner in Richard Hughes while Ajjaadd is interesting if forgiven a very poor run at Sandown.
